Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a sophisticated and an accurate analytical technique used to study the diffusion of molecules in a solution at the single-molecule level. FCS is strongly affected by many factors such as the stability of the excitation power, photochemical processes, mismatch between the refractive indices, and variations in the cover glass thickness. We have studied FCS near the surface of a cover glass by using rhodamine 123 as a fluorescent probe and have observed that the surface has a strong influence on the measurements. The temporal autocorrelation of FCS decays with two characteristic times when the confocal detection volume is positioned near the surface of the cover glass. As the position of the detection volume is moved away from the surface, the FCS autocorrelation becomes one-component decaying; the characteristic time of the decay is the same as the faster-decaying component in the FCS autocorrelation near the surface. This observation suggests that the faster component can be attributed to the free diffusion of the probe molecules in the solution, while the slow component has its origin from the interaction between the probe molecules and the surface. We have characterized the surface contribution to the FCS measurements near the surface by changing the position of the detection volume relative to the surface. The influence of the surface on the diffusion of the probe molecules was monitored by changing the chemical properties of the surface. The surface contribution to the temporal autocorrelation of the FCS strongly depends on the chemical nature of the surface. The hydrophobicity of the surface is a major factor determining the surface influence on the free diffusion of the probe molecules near the surface.

In this study, the $N_2O$, emitted from combustion facility, were analyzed by using simulated gas and field samples to find out how long samples can be stored in Tedlar bag. According to the results of the experiment using simulated gases (1 ppm, 5 ppm, 10 ppm) in Tedlar bag, After 144hr, $N_2O$ concentration of simulated gases changed that 1 ppm is 5.3%, 5 ppm is 12.8%, and 10ppm is 10.5%. The higher initial concentration of simulated gas was, the larger rate of $N_2O$ concentration was changed. In case of high concentration samples, it need to be careful when it was analyzed after 144 hr. Stability evaluation in Tedlar bag was carried out through field samples such as combustion facility of bituminous coal, B-C oil and LNG. The concentration rate of field samples, which is under 1 ppm of average initial concentration, was evaluated using statistical method. As a result, $N_2O$ concentrations were changed to field samples in the bag even when 96 hr had passed. And after sampling, it is necessary that sample analysis should be quickly as soon as possible.

For the first time, two-dimensional temporal behavior of the edge localized mode (ELM) filament is measured in the edge tokamak plasma with a multi-channel electrical probe array (MCEP). MCEP, which has 16 floating probes (4 × 4), is mounted at the far scrape-off layer (SOL) region in the KSTAR. An electron temperature and an ion flux are measured by sideband method (SBM), which can achieve two-dimensional measurements with high time resolution. Furthermore, temporal evolutions of the electron temperature and the ion flux are obtained during the ELM occurrence. In the H-mode period, short spikes from ELM bursts are observed in measured plasma parameters, and the trend is similar to that of typical Hα signal. Interestingly, when blob-like ELM filaments crash the probe, the heat flux is significantly higher in a local region of the probe array. The results show that our probe array using the SBM can measure the ELM behavior and the plasma parameters without the effect of the stray current caused by the huge device. This study can provide valuable data needed to understand the interaction between the SOL plasma and the plasma facing components (PFCs).

인체의 장내에 존재하는 장내 미생물은 서로 공생 또는 길항 관계를 유지하며 우리 몸의 면역 방어 기전에 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 본 연구는 항암제가 위암 환자의 장내 미생물 생태계에 미치는 영향을 조사 하였다. 항암치료를 받는 환자의 분변에서 genomic DNA를 추출하고, 16S rDNA 유전자에 대한 denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)를 수행하였다. 분석된 균주는 개체간의 차이가 있었으나, 대부분 사람의 장내에 살고 있는 normal flora로 동정되었다. 모든 분변에 존재하는 5 개 밴드의 서열 분석 결과에 의하면 Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Morganella morganii 및 Uncultured bacterium sp.가 나타났고, 항암제 처리 후 Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Lactobacillus gasseri, Parabacteroides distasonis 및 Enterobacter sp.가 증가하였다. 이 연구에서 probiotic으로 알려진 Bifidobacterium과 Lactobacillus를 특이적 PCR primer를 이용하여 동정한 결과, 항암제 투여로 인해 Bifidobacterium과 Lactobacillus의 개체군이 현저하게 줄어들어 diarrhea와 같은 부작용의 원인을 예상하게 하며, 장내 생태계의 주요 박테리아 집단에도 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 항암제 투여와 같이 시간의 흐름에 따른 균총의 변화를 시각적으로 모니터링하기 위하여 PCR-DGGE 분석법이 유용하다는 것을 나타낸다.

Permanent Scatterer InSAR (PSInSAR) 기법은 단일 주영상을 가지는 간섭도를 사용하여, 안정적인 신호를 보내는 고정산란체를 추출하고 시간에 따른 지표변위를 계산한다. 그러나 산악지역과 같이 고정산란체를 추출하기 어려운 지역에서는 적용되기 어렵다. 또 다른 다중시기 간섭기법인 Small BAseline Subset (SBAS)은 기선거리가 짧은 다중시기 주영상을 가지는 간섭도를 이용하기 때문에 산악지역에도 효과적으로 적용될 수 있으나, 사용되는 간섭도의 절대 위상 복원이 적절히 수행되지 못했을 경우 정확한 지표변위 계산이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 앞서 언급된 다중시기 간섭기법들의 단점을 극복한 Temporarily Coherence Point InSAR (TCPInSAR) 기법을 소개한다. 이 기법은 간섭도의 절대 위상 복원이 필요 없고, 기선거리가 짧은 다중시기 주영상을 적용한다. 기존의 두 다중시기 간섭기법에 비해 산악지역에서도 충분한 고정산란체를 추출하여 공간적인 지표변위 양상을 관측하기에 충분하고, 절대 위상 복원으로 인한 오차가 없는 시계열 변위를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구를 위해 미국 알라스카 어거스틴 화산의 ERS-1과 ERS-2 SAR 자료를 수집하여, SBAS와 TCPInSAR 기법을 통해 1992년부터 2005년까지 발생된 지표변위를 관측하고 시계열 지표변위 결과를 비교하였다.

The objective of this study was to find out whether the unilateral distraction of mandible has an influence on temporomandibular joint and if it does, how significant the influence is. Four beagle dogs were used in this study. Each dog had two implants placed into the left mandible. The mandible was distracted for 14days with an distraction device as an amount of 0.75mm, twice per day after osteotomy between two implants. Each animals were sacrificed at the second, fourth, sixth and eighth week after the total distraction amount of 10.5mm were gotten. Upon embedding and staining, the specimens were evaluated with a light microscope. The results were as follows. 1. For the second week group, the articular cartilage and osteoid seam of temporal bone and condyle were relatively well maintained. There were not any significant differences between distraction side and non distraction side. 2. For the fourth week group, the periosteal reaction was activated and the articular cartilage and osteoid seam of temporal bone and condyle were severely thickened - especially at posterior portion of distraction side. This findings revealed that the unilateral distraction forces has more influence on distraction side than on non distraction side, and on posterior portion than on anterior portion. 3. For the sixth and eighth week group, the thickness of meniscus in distraction side gradually recovered to the initial level. The thickened articular cartilage and osteoid seam of temporal bone and condyle were decreased in distraction side and showed relatively stable in non distraction side. From this results, we suggest that several considerations are required such as using an occlusal splint, maintaining the stability of bone distraction device and evaluating bone distraction rate to minimize the damages of temporomandibular joint tissues in early stage of distraction side.

인터넷을 통한 비디오 스트리밍 응용에서 TCP 친화적인 전송률 조절기법은 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시키고 프로토콜간의 형평성을 향상시킨다는 장점을 가진다. 하지만, 네트워크의 안정성 및 프로토콜간의 형평성 향상이 사용자에게 제공되는 스트리밍 서비스 품질의 향상을 의미하진 않는다. 비디오 스트리밍에서 네트워크의 안정성 향상과 동시에 사용자에게 제공되는 서비스 품질의 향상을 위해서는 네트워크 상태를 기반으로, 서비스되는 비디오 스트림의 품질을 적응적으로 변화시키는 기법이 적용되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 현재 네트워크의 상태를 기반으로 서비스되는 비디오 스트림의 품질을 조절하는 새로운 품질 적응 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법은 현재 네트워크 상태에 적합한 TCP 친화적인 전송률을 계산하고, 이를 기반으로 전송되는 비디오 스트림의 프레임율을 조절함으로써 네트워크 상태에 적응적으로 전송률 및 서비스 품질을 조절하게 된다. 실험 결과를 통해서 제안하는 기법이 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시킴과 동시에 네트워크 상태 적응적인 품질 변화를 통해 사용자에게 끊김없이 부드러운 스트리밍 서비스를 제공할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A tumor immune interaction is a main topic of interest in the last couple of decades because majority of human population suffered by tumor, formed by the abnormal growth of cells and is continuously interacted with the immune system. Because of its wide range of applications, many researchers have modeled this tumor immune interaction in the form of ordinary, delay and fractional order differential equations as the majority of biological models have a long range temporal memory. So in the present work, tumor immune interaction in fractional form provides an excellent tool for the description of memory and hereditary properties of inter and intra cells. So the interaction between effector-cells, tumor cells and interleukin-2 (IL-2) are modeled by using the definition of Caputo fractional order derivative that provides the system with long-time memory and gives extra degree of freedom. Moreover, in order to achieve more efficient computational results of fractional-order system, a discretization process is performed to obtain its discrete counterpart. Furthermore, existence and local stability of fixed points are investigated for discrete model. Moreover, it is proved that two types of bifurcations such as Neimark-Sacker and flip bifurcations are studied. Finally, numerical examples are presented to support our analytical results.

This study investigates the color stimuli of two varieties of foliage plants by extracting electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram and physiology activity data from 30 participants in their 50s or older. Changes in the physiological activity of subjects against six color stimuli were examined. The stimulus to real green plants 'Silver Queen' was set as the control group, and was compared with other groups including the stimulus to real 'Angel' plants and four stimuli to artificial colors (two color images and color schemes of the same green and red plants). Compared to the five groups, the relative theta power spectrum (RT) and the ratio of alpha to high beta (RAHB) increased in the subjects exposed to real green plants. This result demonstrates that the green plant ('Silver Queen') increases the stability, relaxation, and internal concentration of subjects in a proper state of awakening. The result of this experiment showed a statistically significant difference in the level of RT when subjects were exposed to the groups of real green and red plants. This finding indicates that the green plant increases internal concentration more than the red plant. RT and the relative low beta power spectrum (RLB) in the groups of natural colors were higher than the groups of artificial colors when subjects focused their mind on the two types of real plants. However, the level of relative mid beta power spectrum (RMB), ratio of SMR to theta (RST), ratio of mid beta to theta (RMT), relative high beta power spectrum (RHB), and spectral edge frequency 95% were higher when subjects were exposed to the photos and colors scheme of plants than when they were exposed to real plants. The subjects experienced more "comfortable" emotions when they were looking at plants with green colors. Overall, it is recommended to use the natural colors of real plants in places where which stability and relaxation are required. On the contrary, the artificial colors of plants such as their photos and color schemes are useful in places where a high level of concentration is required in a short period of time.
